RELIGION AND HIV AND AIDS: CHARTING THE TERRAIN LAUNCHED IN OCTOBER 2011
Religion and HIV and AIDS, Charting the Terrain, published by UKZN press, was launched on the 5th of October at Emaphethelweni Dominican Community in Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg.
This book explores the interface between HIV, AIDS and religion and makes a significant contribution to a growing body of scholarship that recognizes the importance of religious engagement with the reality of HIV and AIDS. In many communities, the spiritual narrative is far more compelling that its bio-medical equivalent, making interdisciplinary collaboration crucial. The project that gave birth to this book brought together scholars from the fields of religion and theology and activists from local communities.
